About Me


I believe in God. I hate evil. I am driven. I think life should be lived with purpose and passion, and that optimism keeps that "special zest" in life (Phil 4:13, Holy Bible).
If you are in the US military (or were), thank you for your service.
I hope you can take something away from my page (be it inspiring, fun or contemplative)... Now get off your butt and live!

Be motivated!

Mack: How's your boyfriend?

"Now you will receive us. We do not ask for your poor, or your hungry. We do not want your tired and sick. It is your corrupt we claim. It is your evil that will be sought by us. With every breath, we shall hunt them down. Each day we will spill their blood, 'til it rains down from the skies.
Do not kill. Do not rape. Do not steal. These are principles which every man of every faith can embrace. These are not polite suggestions; these are codes of behavior, and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost. There are varying degrees of evil. We urge you lesser forms of filth not to push the bounds and cross over into true corruption, into our domain. For if you do, one day you will look behind you and you will see we three, and on that day you will reap it. And we will send you to whatever god you wish.
And shepherds we shall be, for Thee my Lord for Thee, power hath descended forth from Thy hand, that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. We shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti"

"Those who do evil to others - killers, rapists, psychos, sadists - you will come to know me well. This is not vengeance. Revenge is not a valid motive, it's an emotional response.

No. Not vengeance.

Punishment."
